Page 11 12 The Magic Flute Three brothers went in search of knowledge. The eldest was called Rajuna, the middle one Tapa and the youngest, Manja. While studying, Manja turned out to be the cleverest. He was well- liked by their teacher and this made Rajuna and Tapa envious. Before they completed their studies, the brothers had to get the magic bamboo flute from the sum- mit of Bukit Berapit. The three men started out on their journey. After walking some distance they arrived at a crossroads. "Which road should we take, Brother?" asked Manja. "I think the wide road to the right is the right one. What do you think, Tapa?_ asked Rajuna. "I agree, Brother," said Tapa. "What about you, Manja?" asked Rajuna. "I think the narrow road to the left is the right one," said Manja. "Well, we do not agree with you," said Rajuna, "so let's go our separate ways." Rajuna and Tapa continued their journey. While climbing the hill, they heard a voice. "Where are you going, Rajuna?" "We're going to the top of the hill to find the bamboo flute," said Rajuna quickly. Immediately, he was turned to stone. The same fate be- fell Tapa. Manja who had chosen the nar- row road met an old man at the foot the hill. "Sir, may I ask you something?" asked Manja. "Yes, what is it, son?" asked the old man. "I know very little. Can you give me advice on how to reach the top of Bukit Berapit?" asked Manja. Seeing that Manja was humble and sincere, the old man agreed to help him. "While climbing, do not at any time respond to any greeting or look behind you," said the old man. "Why, Sir?" asked Manja. "What you would hear is the voice of the Devil. If you reply or look behind you will come under an evil spell. You will be turned to stone," said the old man. On his journey, many voices greeted Manja. Manja his closed up both his ears with a piece of cloth. Only when he reached the top the hill did he remove the cloth from his ears. All at once, he heard pleasant voices. He had found the cluster of bamboo. "Greetings, Guardian of the Bamboo! Permit me to take a section of the bamboo," Manja, following the old man's advice. Manja cut a piece of bamboo of the thickness of a big toe. He drilled small holes in it and fashioned a flute out of it. As he descending the hill, he played the flute. To his great surprise, as if by magic, many people appeared. "Thank you, Sir, for rescuing us," said one of the men. "We were cursed and turned to stone. It was your bamboo flute that restored us to our human form again," added another young man. Only then did Manja understand the magic the bamboo flute. As he continued playing the flute, more and more stones turned into men. Among those rescued Rajuna and Tapa, his two older brothers.

I recommend using hazelnut oil. Light oils do not leave residue in the ney. You can also choose sesame oil and almond oil.

Γεια σου, αν και λίγο καθυστερημένα, αν ήτανε χαλασμένο το Νέυ θα το έβλεπες(θα είχε φθορά δλδ). Επίσης για κάποιον αρχάριο δεν θα είχε ιδιαίτερη διαφορά. Μπορείς θεωρητικά να μάθεις να βγάζεις ήχο και με ενα απλό pvc σωλήνα. Θυμάμαι κιεγω πάντως αυτό το συναίσθημα όταν είχα πάρει την πρώτη μου κιθάρα, νόμιζα οτι πραγματικά ήτανε χαλασμένη :). Για μαθήματα δεν μου έρχεται κάποιος τώρα, αλλά αν ακόμα ψάχνεις πες μου και θα βρώ κάποιον να σου προτείνω..

Ευχαριστώ πολύ. Ναι ενδιαφέρομαι. Αν βρεις κάποιον στείλε μου. Ευτυχώς έχω και το korg και παίζω εκεί ney. Κι εγώ κιθάρα παίζω κυρίως ηλεκτρική, αλλά νομίζω πως παίζοντας νευ θα είναι η υπέρτατη χαρά.

@@vladymlr8566 Μερικές φορές βοηθάει να προσπαθήσεις να παίξεις μπροστά σε έναν καθρευτη ώστε να βλέπεις τα χείλη σου, επίσης μην προσπαθείς να κλείσεις καμία τρύπα αρχικά η κάθε τρύπα χρειάζεται μια μικρή προσαρμογή στην αναπνοή. Εφόσον βγάλεις ήχο προσπάθησε να παίξεις μακρόσυρτες νότες, αρχικά ολα ανοιχτά και μετά άρχισε να κλείνεις.

Ευχαριστώ πολύ για τις συμβουλές σου. Το χω κάνει ήδη με τις νότες. Το θέμα είναι ότι σχεδόν κάθε φορά είναι σαν πρώτη.ο καθρέφτης πάντως ναι βοηθάει.Γενικά μου πήρε κάνα 5ωρο να βγάλω την πρώτη καθαρή νότα. Έπειτα όταν έκλεισα όλες τις τρύπες έκανε 1 ώρα να ξεστραβωσει το κεφάλι και το σώμα χαχαχα

Usually in ney, left hand goes on top, right hand goes on bottom (same way with the shakuhachi or similar other flutes)

No, basically you can make a sound from anything that almost looks like a Ney. Make sure you are not closing any holes at the beginning. It took me certainly more than 3 days to make a sound! Good Luck!

@@neyzen4427 Hey thanks for the fast reply ! I just want to ask one things about this ney. I used your technique but still can't get a sound . But only a strong whistle comming from the baspare. Is it the a good sign of progress or not . Thank you again

@@neyzen4427 YEYYY I MADE MY FIRST SOUND AND ITS SOUND REALLLY SMOOTH AND GOOD

Obviously English isn't his language idiot. How many languages do you speak?

According to how you wrote "dont", you don't know either.

@@namero999 lame Very lame

@@namero999 point is... cut out the errrr ahhhh eee ehhh. Be more clear you fucking nerd

Can anyone vouch for this? Everyone recommends hazelnut oil mostly

Yep . Figured it out at 3am lol

Currently learning at 5 am lmao

And how is it going? 3 years later...

How about grape seed oil?

@@erkankaban973 grape seed oil works very well. One of the best oils for the ney.
